Trump wants to eliminate holidays for American workers

[blackbird]

"Trump delivers stark warning to workers on Juneteenth.

Working-class Americans received a stark warning from President Trump as he celebrated Juneteenth by complaining about the excessive amount of federal holidays. Trump issued a directive Thursday night that declared the country is wasting too much money on closing business and said he has considered axing future celebrations.

Too many non-working holidays in America,' he wrote on Truth Social. 'It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either!' The president then speculated that the holiday madness could have a negative impact on the country if something isn't done. 'Soon we’ll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year,' he said. 'It must change if we are going to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

 Juneteenth, also referred to as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas. Their freedom came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln liberated slaves in the Confederacy by signing the Emancipation Proclamation during the Civil War."

That's easy. The MAGA CULT lDIOTS elected an authoritarian RACIST who would start with all the "black" holidays like Juneteenth and MLK birthday. He's already changing the military base names back to honor the Confederate generals who fought to keep slavery.

Of course there are still right wingers here who will insist that doesn't make Trump a racist because their heads are in a dark brown place. 🤮

Juneteenth is a joke. It's grammatically stupid and it feeds into black fatigue. We already have MLK, black history month, Rosa Parks Day and Emancipation Day. The correct thing to do is roll all of that shit into MLK and call it good.

robowoke wants to erase all traces of white history from the United States. He wants to do this because he was taught to hate himself, first, and then worship blacks as gods. This is all on the surface, of course, as deep down inside he hates all blacks, jews, asians and any other non-secret handshaking a$$hole.

2. I'm certain your racist brethren appreciate the shit you shovel here, comrade.

So, just what holidays is Trump wanting to axe? Christmas maybe or gay rights day? I could go for the latter. 😁

[Fluffypants]

Juneteenth is pander to black people day.

[Aristides]

Wow, celebrating the elimination of slavery in your country is now pandering to black people.  Sure says something about you.

The US must be the only developed country in the world that doesn't have any minimum mandated annual vacation and now you cheer when Trump wants to get rid of stats as well. Talk about brainwashed.
